"Rising above the usual singsong name-checking, Vestergaard celebrates
not only the jobs these machines perform but also their marvelous
mechanics." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Sixteen boisterous, rhyming poems -- each one highlighting the job and
personality of a different vehicle, from a backhoe to an ambulance to a
snowplow -- introduce young children to their favorite trucks
face-to-face. Cheerful illustrations show the machines in action,
digging (or dozing, or dumping) away. Each truck and big machine in
these enticing rhyming poems is different, and little readers are
invited to find a vehicle that's like them.
